PREFACE, 



The compiler of this work is indebted for a portion of the statistical 
information he has condensed, to various valuable publications, the size 
and expense of which materially interfere with their extensive circula- 
tion. The Election returns, <.^c. have generally been obtained, at con- 
siderable labour, by application to gentlemen in the several states. In 
most cases the returns ate official, but in a few instances, it is probable 
that trifling errors may be discovered, which, in the absence of positive in- 
formation, could not be corrected. The omissions in the congressional 
returns of some of the southern states, for the, year 1833, it was found 
impossible to supply, the records not having been preserved in the proper 
offices. 

The Register has been compiled, under a belief that an abstract of the 
leading features of our Federal and State Governments, compressed in a 
small space, will be a matter of interest to every citizen, and especially to 
those who have not leisure for extensive research and investigation. 
The returns of late elections, &c. will be valuable to politicians, and to 
all who teel an interest in the approaching Gubernatorial and Presidential 
contests, as a matter of reference upon which to base estimates of future 
results. The pohtical character of the candidates has been stated in all 
cases where it could be ascertained without doubt. 

It is the design of the compiler, should the present edition be approved 
by the public, to prepare a second, embracing the returns of the con- 
gressional elections which take place in August of the present year, so that 
the political character of the voters in the several congressional districts of 
the Union, as bearing upon the Presidential question, may be more dis- 
tinctly ascertained. 

Philadelphia, July 11, 1835. 



ERRATA. 

On page 52, there is an error in the returns of votes polled in Mercer county, 
on the subject of a Convention to amend the Constitution of Pennsylvania. The 
returns from that county should read, for a convention 1311, against a conven- 
tion 475. 

The sketch of Tennessee, on page 80, is not correct in all its particulars, the 
Constitution of that State, having recently been altered. By the new Constitu- 
tion it is provided, that the General Assembly shall convene biennially, on the 
1st Monday in October, and the elections for Senators and Representatives are 
to be held on the first Thursday in August, terminating on the same day. 
Judges of the Supreme Court are to be appointed by the Legislature for a term 
of 12 years, and Judges of the Inferior Courts for eight years. Justices of the 
Peace will hereafter be elected by the people. 

On page 83, for " Chittenden Lyon, (anti-Jackson,") read Chittenden Lyon, 
(Jackson.) 

The vacancy in the Senatorial representation of the state of Mississippi, on 
page 14, has recently been filled by the appointment, by the Governor of that 
state, of Robert J. Walker, Esq. 



THE 



POIilTlCIAIV'S RECJISTER, 



President of the United States, 

By the constitution it is provided that the President shall be 
thirty-five years of age, fourteen years a resident of the United 
States, and a natural born citizen, or a citizen at the time of the 
adoption of the constitution. In case of his death, resignation or 
removal, the duties of his office devolve upon the Vice President, 
and in case of the death, resignation or removal of both, the Presi- 
dent of the Senate pro tempore, shall act as President. The Presi- 
dent is commander in chief of the army and navy of the United 
States, and of the militia of the several States when called into 
the service of the United States. His salary is |25,000 per annum. 



Vice President of the United States. 

The ordinary duty of the Vice President is to preside in the 
Senate of the United States. He is not a member of the Cabinet. 
When he does not officiate as President of the United States, his 
place is supplied by a Presiding officer pro tempore, chosen by 
ballot, from among the Senators, who receives additional com- 
pensation or |16 per diem for his services. No person constitu- 
tionally ineligible to the office of President, is eligible to that of 
Vice President. The salary of the Vice President is $5,000 per 
annum. 



Mode of Election, by Electors. 

The election of President and Vice President of the United 
States is by Electors, in each state, who are choseo as the legisla- 
1 

>- 



Z MODE OP ELECTION BY CONGRESS. 

tore in each state may provide. The choice of Electors must be 
made within thirty-four days preceding the first Wednesday of 
December, of the year in which an election for President and 
Vice President takes place, and they must be equal in number to 
the number of Senators and Representatives to which the several 
states may by law be entitled at the time when the President and 
Vice President, thus to be chosen, shall come into ofSce. No Se- 
nator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or 
profit under the United States, can be appointed an Elector. 
The Electors are required to meet in their respective states, on 
the first Wednesday of December, and vote by ballot for Presi- 
dent and Vice President, one of whom shall not be an inhabitant 
of the same state with themselves. Lists of the number of votes 
given and for whom, must be sealed and transmitted to the Presi- 
dent of the Senate. 



Mode of Election by Congrress. 

The President of the Senate is required to open and count the 
lists forwarded by the Electors of the several states, in the pre- 
sence of Vie Senate and the House of Representatives. The per- 
son having the greatest number of votes for President, is duly elec- 
ted, if such number be a majority of all the Electors appointed, 
if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the 
highest numbers, not exceeding three, in the list of those voted for 
as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immedi- 
ately by ballot, the President. In this election the votes are taken 
by states, the representation from each state having one vote on- 
ly. A quorum for this purpose consists of a member or members, 
from two thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states is ne- 
cessary to a choice. If the House of Representatives shall not 
choose a President, whenever t!ie right of choice devolves upon 
them, before the 4th of March next ensuing, then the Vice Presi- 
dent shall act as President. 

In the event of the failure of the House of Representatives to se- 
lect either a President or Vice President, it becomes the duty of 
the Secretary of State, to communicate information thereof to the 
Executive of each state, and to cause the same to be published 
in the newspapers, giving two months previous notice, that Elec- 
tors of President shall be appointed or chosen in the several states, 
within thirty-four days next preceding the first Wednesday in De- 
cember ensuing, when the choice of President shall proceed as 
usual. The period of service is four years. 



ELECTION OF PRESIDENT BY CONGRESS* 



Election of President in 1824. 

In the year 1824 there was no choice of President by the Elec- 
toral colleges, and the election, of necessity, devolved upon Con- 
gress. The lists of votes forwarded by the Electors, were opened 
in the chamber of the House of Representatives, in the presence of 
the Senate, on the 12th of February, 1825, and gave the annexed 
result:

It being announced that neither of the candidates for the Presi- 
dency, had a majority of fhe whole number of votes, the speaker 
of the House notified the members that they would immediately pro^ 
ceed to the election of a President, from the three candidates 
having the greatest number of votes, viz : Andrew Jackson, Johi;i 
Quincy Adams and William H. Crawford.

VOTES OF REPRESENTATIVES. 



The roll of the House was called by states, and it appeared that 
all the members were present but Mr. Garrett, of Virginia, who 
was sick at his lodgings. The members of each state confered 
together and cast their ballots, a majority in each state making 
one vote. The result of this balloting was as follows : 

John Quincy Adams had - - - - 13 votes, 

Andrew Jackson had ----- 7 votes, 

Wm. H. Crawford had - - _ _ 4 votes. 

Whereupon John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, having re- 
ceived a majority of all the votes, was declared duly elected 
President for four years. 

States voting for Mr. Adams. — Maine, New Hampshire, Mas- 
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New York, 
Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio, Louisiana, Illinois and Missouri — 13. 

States voting for Gen. Jackson. — New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 
South Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Alabama and Mississippi — 7. 

States voting for Mr. Crawford. — Delaware, Virginia, North 
Carolina and Georgia — 4.

COISOHESS. 



CONGRESS. 



The Congress of the United States, consists of the Senate and 
House of Representatives — the former composed of 48 in number, 
the latter of 243, of whom three are delegates from Territories. 
There are two Senators from each state, chosen by the legisla- 
tures of the severs! states, one third of them being elected bien- 
nially. The Senate have, upon all nominations by the President 
of the United States, a voice of advice and consent or otherwise; 
in which case it sits with closed doors, and the journal of its pro- 
ceedings is then secret. The Senate is also a court for the trial of 
high crimes and misdemeanours upon impeachments by the 
House of Representatives. Senators, when elected, must be thirty 
years of age. 

The House of Representatives is composed of members from 
the several states, elected by the people, for the term of two years. 
The number in each state is apportioned according to the popula- 
tion, one representative being returned for every 47,700 persons. 
A census of the inhabitants of the United States, must be taken 
every ten years. The first enumeration was made in 1790, the 
fifth in 1830. Members of the House of Representatives must be 
twenty-five years of age. 

Since the 4th of March, 1807, the compensation of each Senator 
and Representative, has been $8 per day, during the period of his 
attendance in Congress, without deduction in case of sickness ; 
and $8 for every twenty miles travel, in the usual road, in going 
to and returning from the seat of government. The compensa- 
tion of the Speakerof theHouseofRepresentatives,is|16perday. 

Congress must assemble at least once in every year, on the first 
Monday in December. The President of the United States may 
convene a special session at any time, upon giving forty days no- 
tice. Neither House can adjourn for more than three days, with- 
out the consent of the other. In case of disagreement about the 
time of adjournment, the President, may adjourn them to such 
time as he thinks proper. The Senate and House form each 
^eir own rules, and are, respectively, judges of their own electioBu 



THE JUDICIARy. if 

The Judiciary. 

The Judiciary power of the United States is vested in one Su- 
preme Court, thirty-one District Courts, and seven Circuit Courts, 
which are organised as follows : The Supreme Court is com- 
posed of one Chief Justice and six Associate Judges, who hold a 
court in the city of Washington, annually; besides which, each 
of these Justices attends a certain Circuit, comprising two or 
more districts, and together with the Judge of the District, com- 
pose a Circuit Court, which is holdenin each District of the Cir- 
cuit. The District Courts are held respectively by the District 
Judges alone. Appeals are allowed from the District to the Cir- 
cuit Court, and from the Circuit to the Supreme Court. Each 
state is one district, for the purpose of holding District and Cir- 
cuit Courts therein, with the exception of New York, Pennsyl- 
vania, Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana and Alabama, each of 
which is divided into two districts. There are, besides. Territorial 
Courts, which are temporary, and lose that character whenever 
a Territory becomes a state. 

The Supreme Court has jurisdiction in all cases affecting am- 
bassadors and consuls, and those in which a state is a party. It 
has appellate jurisdiction in all cases arising under the federal 
constitution, in all admiralty cases, in controversies beiween two 
states, or two citizens of different states, and between a state and 
the citizens thereof, and foreign states or subjects. In this court 
witnesses are allowed one dollar twenty-five cents per day, and 
five cents a mile for travelling expenses. The Judges are appoint- 
ed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The 
following are the present judges :

AHMY AND NAVT 



Army and Navy of the United States. 

The standing or regular army of the United States, is extremely 
small — for having no formidable enemy in our immediate vicinity, 
there is but little occasion for regular troops. In 1815, the strength 
of the army was fixed by act of Congress, at 9980 men. In 1821, 
the number was reduced to 6442, and in January 1832, a still fur- 
ther reduction took place, and the number was as follows, viz : 

1 Major General, 2 Brigadier Generals, 1 Adjutant General, 2 
Inspectors General, 1 Quarter Master General, 4 Quarter Mas- 
ters, 1 Commissary General of Subsistence, 2 Commissaries, 1 
Surgeon General, 12 Surgeons, 25 Assistant Surgeons, 1 Paymas- 
ter General, 14 Paymasters, 1 Commissary General of Purchases, 
2 Military Storekeepers, 14 Colonels, 14 Lieutenant Colonels, 
22 Majors, 136 Captains, 159 First Lieutenants, 158 Second Lieu- 
tenants, 12 Sergeant Majors, 12 Quarter-master Sergeants, 438 
Sergeants, 464 Corporals, 22 Buglers, 15 Principal Musicians, 
212 Musicians, 108 Artificers, 250 Ordnance men, 5052 Pri- 
vates. Aggregate, 1,198. 

The miUtia constitutes the principal military force of the coun- 
try, as it comprises all the males between the ages of 18 and 45. 
When the militia are called into the field for actual service, they 
have the same pay and allowances as the regular army, but are 
only bound to serve for six months. The number of militia in the 
several states and territories, is as follows :

* Three different modes of choosing the electors of president 
and vice-president in the different states, are authorized by the 
constitution, viz : by the people by districts, by the people by a 
general ticket, and by the state legislatures. The same states 
have not all uniformly adhered to the same mode ; and the mode 
may be varied at the pleasure of the state legislatures. 

f There is no senate in the legislature of Vermont ; but the 

executive council, consisting of the governor, lieutenant-governor, 

and 12 counsellors, elected by the freemen, are empowered to lay 

before the general assembly such business as shall appear to 

them necessary; also to revise and propose amendments to the 

laws passed by the house of representatives. 

t The number of representatives in the legislature of Massa- 
chusetts in 1831, was 481 ; but the number is very variable. 

\ The pay of the senators, in the legislature of Connecticut, is 
|2 a day ; that of the representatives, $1.50. 

il The upper house, which forms an independent branch of the 
legislature of New Jersey, is styled the "Legislative Council."

where there should have been a majority of 43 in his favour. By this 
carelessness, his majority is diminished 160 votes. It should have been

General Assembly. The Executive power is vested in a Govern- 
or, Lieutenant-Governor, and a Council of 12 persons, who, to- 
gether with the General Assembly, are chosen annually by the

seven years, (first elected in 1779,) on the last Wednesday in 
March. Their duty is to enquire whether the constitution has 
been preserved inviolate; whether the government has been faith- 
fully administered ; the public taxes been justly laid and collect- 
ed; the laws faithfully exected,ar,d in what manner the public 
money has been disposed of. The judges and justices of the peace 
are elected annually by the General Assembly. The General As- 
sembly meets annually at Montpelier, on the second Thursday of 
October. The Governor's salary is $750. The state sends five

NEW JERSEY. 

The legislative power of this state is vested in a Council of 14, 
one from each county, and a House of Assembly, consisting of 50 
members, apportionsd amoag the counties according to popula- 
tion. Members of Council, and the General Assembly, are elect- 
ed annually, on the 2d Tuesday of Ociober. The Legislature 
meets annually on the 4th Tuesday in October. 

The Governor is chosen annually by the Legislature, in joint 
meeting. The Governor is president of the Council, but the Coun-

the place of the Governor, in his absence. His salary is $3,50 per

last resort in all causes of law, and they possess the power of 
granting pardon to criminals after condemnation. The Judges 
are appointed by the Legislature, those of the supreme court for 
seven years, and those of the inferior courts for five years. 

The constitution grants the right of suffrage to all persons who 
are worth fifty pounds proclamation money, clear estate in the 
same, and have resided within the county in which they claim a 
vote, for 12 months immediately preceding the election. The le- 
gislature has declared, by law, that every white male inhabitant 
of 21 years, who shall have paid a tax, shall be considered worth 
fifty pounds, and entitled to a vote. 

The Governor's salary is 12,000. The state sends six repre- 
lentatives to Congress.

46 ELECTIONS IN PENNSYLVANIA 



PENNSYLVANIA. 

The General Assembly consists of a Senate and House of Re- 
presentatives. The present number of Senators is 33 — members 
of the House 100. The Senators are chosen for four years, one 
fourth being elected annually. Their number cannot be greater 
than one third, nor less than one fourth of the number of Repre- 
sentatives. The present apportionment is one Senator to every 
7,700 taxable inhabitants, and one member of the House, forevery 
2,554 taxables. The Governor is elected by the people, for a term 
of three years, and cannot hold the office more than nine years in 
any term of twelve years. Members of the House of Represent- 
atives are elected annually, on the second Tuesday in October. 
Their per diem allowance, and also that of Senators, is $3. The 
Legislature meets annually at Harrisburg, on the first Tues- 
day in December, unless sooner convened by the Governor. An 
enumeration of the taxable inhabitants, with the view of fixing 
the number of Representatives, is required to be made eviBry seven 
years. The last enumeration was made in 1828. Judges and 
Justices of the peace are appointed by the Governor, and hold 
their offices during good behaviour. 

The right of suffrage is possessed by every freeman of the age 
of 21 years, who has resided in the state two years next preced- 
ing an election, and within that time paid a state or county tax, 
assessed at least six months before the eleclion. 

The state sends 28 Representatives to Congress. The Govern- 
or's salary is $4,000. In case of his death, his duties devolve upon 
the Speaker of the Senate. 

The election for Inspectors of the general election in October, 
is held throughout the state about two weeks previous. The elec- 
tion for electors of President and Vice President of the United 
States, is held in November of every fourth year.

Note. — By an Act of Assembly of the last session, the 4th and 5th 
districts, comprising Baltimore City, Annapolis City and Anne Arundel 
County, have been converted into one district, to elect two Representatives- 
It is therefore now the 4th district, and Maryland of course has but seven 
Congressional districts.

VIRGINIA. 



By the constitution of this state, the legislative power is vested 
in a Senate and House of Delegates, the former consisting of 39 
and the latter of 134 members. Senators are elected for four 
years, one-fourth annually. In all elections to any office of trust, 
honor or profit, the votes are given openly, or viva voce, and not by 
ballot, as in other states. The Governor is elected by the legisla- 
ture, and his term of office is 3 years. There is a council of state, 
consisting of 3 raembars, elected for three years, by a joint vote of 
the two Houses, the seat of one being vacated annually. The se- 
nior counsellor is Lieutenant Governor. Judges are appointed by 
the legislature, and hold their offices during good behaviour, but 
may be removed by a concurrent vote of both Houses. 

The right of suffrage is extended to all white male citizens of 21 
years and upwards, who own or possess an interest in a freehold 
estate of the value of $25, or who, for twelve months before offer- 
ing to vote, have been housekeepers and heads of families, and 
paid taxes. 

The elections for representatives are held in the month of 
April, on the respective court days in the different counties; for 
members of Congress in the same month, and for electors of Pre- 
sident and Vice President on the 1st Monday in November. The 
legislature meets annually at Richmond, on the 1st Monday in 
December. 

The Governor's salary is ^3,333^. The state sends 21 repre- 
sentatives to Congress.
